Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to identify the relationship among health-related quality of life of the Cheon-nam region elderly with low back pain. Methods: Data were obtained from cross-sectional surveys conducted as a part of the Community Health Survey 2008. The final analysis included data from 7,003 of the 7,070 elderly participants (aged over 65 years), as 67 responses were excluded since they were inaccurate. Data were analyzed with SPSS for Windows (ver. 19.0), using a ${\chi}^2$-test, a t-test, an ANOVA, and multiple liner regression. The significance threshold was set as p<0.05. Results: Factors related to the health-related quality of life of the elderly were low back pain, age, education level, occupation, subjective health status, subjective stress, drinking status, number of chronic diseases, and sleep duration. Further, health-related quality of life was significantly lower in elderly adults with low back pain. Conclusions: In order to improve health-related quality of life of the elderly and the development of the program for the management of low back pain will be needed to determine, it is considered necessary to study more to follow through the various analysis of in the elderly and health-related quality of life.

본 연구는 전남지역 노인을 대상으로 요통과 건강관련 삶의 질과의 관련성을 살펴보고자 시행되었다. 지역사회건강조사 자료에서 65세 이상 노인 7,070명 중 미응답자와 응답이 불충분한 67명을 제외한 7,003명을 최종 대상으로 선정하여, 자료는 SPSS Win(ver. 19.0)을 이용하여 ${\chi}^2$-test, t-test, ANOVA, 다중선형회귀분석을 실시하였고, 통계적 유의성은 p<0.05로 하여 분석하였다. 노인의 건강관련 삶의 질에 대한 관련요인으로 요통, 연령, 교육수준, 직업유무, 주관적 건강수준, 주관적 스트레스, 음주상태, 만성질환 수, 수면시간이 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 요통이 있는 노인군이 없는 군에 비해 건강관련 삶의 질이 유의하게 낮게 나타났다. 노인의 건강관련 삶의 질을 향상시키기 위해서는 요통관리를 위한 프로그램 개발이 필요할 것으로 판단되며, 요통이 있는 노인의 건강관련 삶의 질과 관련하여 추후 더 다양한 분석을 통한 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
